Michael Spencer, Chief Executive Officer of ICAP said, “To raise £11 million in one day is an incredible achievement, particularly in the current environment. It is the efforts of our customers, staff and supporters that made Charity Day 2008 such a fantastic success. Many needy people around the world will benefit from their efforts.”

Just one of the dozens of celebrities taking part, actress Julianne Moore – raising money for her affiliated charity, Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance, said, “I was thrilled to be involved in ICAP's charity day.  They were so generous and so excited to be helping so many.” Speaking from the dealing room of ICAP’s New York office, Ms Moore said it was really wonderful, in a year where there has been so much economic distress, to be with a group that focused on giving so whole heartedly.  “Every one of us at the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance was so thankful to be included in their tremendous generosity.  Thank you, thank you ICAP!!”
